Chapter 2687: Chapter 2687: It’s Just a Son
To curse them would be one thing, but to actually curse her children, could she just let it go so easily? Clearly not!
“Uh…pfft!”
The Retired Emperor was directly pressured into spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“You…”
He raised his sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking at the two timidly.
Could it be that these two had unknowingly become so terrifying? Just a simple glance was enough to make him bleed, yet only a few years ago, he could still contend with them.
Is it possible that he really has aged?
No, he hasn’t aged; if it weren’t for that unfilial son snatching his throne, he would still be the Emperor of the Daqing Kingdom!
He still had a chance to rise, as long as these two were not in the Daqing Kingdom, he still had a chance. Luckily, these two would not remain in Daqing cause either, weren’t they the rulers of Huayan Peak and Wulong Mountain, could they really always support that unfilial son?
Taking a deep breath, he decided to endure for the moment and turned his head away without speaking.
“Retired Emperor, do you think if I were to kill you, the Emperor would defend you?” An Jiuyue asked, arms crossed, lightly tapping her fingers on her arm.
The Retired Emperor decided to endure for the moment and did not speak.
But this did not prevent his thoughts; if these two were to kill him, that unfilial son would probably not only not defend him but would be grateful to them, wouldn’t he?
Moreover, if he were truly dead, would he care who defends him?
The key is to survive; only by living can there be hope, and only then can he achieve what he wants.
“What exactly do you want to do?”
He looked up at the two, asking them.
Surely, they weren’t here to kill him? If that were the case, they would have taken action long ago, and not dragged it out until now. Probably, they were also taking into account that unfilial son.
“We don’t want to do anything, just want you to look at the booklet in your hand.” An Jiuyue reminded him.
This was the booklet brought from the Great Northern Region; before leaving Ying City, she had specifically asked Gong Jian to write it, summarizing everything Gong Jian had found in Ying City these days, and identifying a few of the Retired Emperor’s forces.
“Booklet?”
The Retired Emperor was reminded and again turned his gaze to the booklet in his hand.
Due to the recent bloodshed, the booklet was already stained with blood, but it did not hinder his reading of the words on it. However, wasn’t this just writing about the fate of Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince?
Although he was more concerned about the Fifteenth Prince, since he was his son and entrusted with important responsibilities.
However, if someone is dead, he didn’t care that much. He had more than one string to his bow, there were others elsewhere. As long as Dowager Consort Yu and her son were smart enough to keep their mouths shut and say nothing.
“It’s just a son; do you think I would care?”
He sneered disdainfully; he had plenty of sons, after all. If one was gone, there would be another. He could use not just this one.
But soon after he spoke, he discovered the booklet contained much more than the execution of Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince; there were many other matters detailed.
“No, impossible, how could you have investigated this, it’s impossible!”
The booklet wrote about many of his forces being found out, and each location and person in charge was clearly detailed, also indicating when someone would come to eliminate these forces.
“Dowager Consort Yu, that wench dared to betray me!”
